Cosmodread 3–5h
Roguelike survival horror on a haunted ship — oxygen, exploration, and pure claustrophobic dread.
Every corridor radiates fear, and scrambling for oxygen turns each run into a tense push for survival.
Why it’s great

Why it flopped
Basic, repetitive graphics, Roguelike grind can fatigue, Not for the horror- or claustrophobic-prone
